In a recent interview, conservative political operative Karl Rove said he’s voting for a Democrat in the upcoming midterms, breaking three decades of precedent exclusively supporting Republicans, and lamented the GOP’s embrace of far-right individuals.
“My party is being infiltrated by people like Bo French,” Rove said in an interview with The Texas Tribune. Weeks earlier, Rove described French, the Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner, as a “bigot,” after he posted several xenophobic social media posts taking aim at students of color celebrating a college football game. Earlier in September, the Tribune reported that Rove planned to vote for French’s rival, state Rep. Jon Rosenthal, D-Houston, in the race that will regulate the Texas oil and gas industry.

At this point, I don’t know how any vaguely sane person can want to be associated with the modern Republican party.
Ever since the Southern Strategy was adopted by the GQP they’ve been Nazis.
Karl Rove states the obvious… there fixed the stupid fucking headline.
“How could this have happened?” asks guy who helped make this happen.
My thoughts exactly. Well put.
The GOP IS a Nazi problem
infiltrated
Buddy, you and your ilk welcomed them with open arms.
They’ve had Nazis in the party since at least the 70s… Not just things like the Bush family connections to providing Nazis oil in WW2, but more directly when The Heritage Foundation hired Nazis and white supremacists for various things.

…and it’s only gotten more overt.
EDIT: Actually in 1999 a journalist wrote a book all about this, titled “Old Nazis, the New Right, and The Republican Party”… It’s definitely been a known thing for awhile now.
For me the significant part is Rove, of all people, calling this out as a problem, severe enough that he will vote Dem.
good old turd blossom.
Yeah, I’m getting leopards and faces vibes here.
you and your ilk
Americans?
Yes, but specifically neocons of the time, which Rove was a de facto leader
Karl Rove lamenting that the GOP is too Nazi is nothing short of surreal.
This dirtbag has been a waste of oxygen for decades.
Karl fucking Rove is going to complain about the Nazis in the room?!
Hey… he’s just trying to save face before the tribunal.
Exactly. If Trump had wasn’t so jealous of the Bushes, Rove would have a cabinet post or be running some agency. He’s just pissy that he can’t be part of the American Holocaust.
KKK has a racism problem.
MAGA is the predictable outcome of the GOP he created. This is HIS fault, among others. This is what HE wanted, wished for, and fought for. Now he’s whining because MAGA is losing badly, and a lot of MAGAs are going to be punished, and he’s afraid it’s going to reach back to him.
after he posted several xenophobic social media posts taking aim at students of color celebrating a college football game
ugh, do I want to know exactly what was too racist for Karl Rove?

Basically saying the UT student section has too many brown people
Ha ha, that’s funny. These guys are just so full of shit. They know the base will believe anything and their biz dickhead pals will pretend to believe anything so they don’t even try to make it believable anymore.
I was shocked that he was shocked. It seemed perfectly normal for MAGA.

One of the best political novels of all time, ‘The Fools In Town Are On Our Side,’ by Ross Thomas. The basic plot is that a political operator decides that the only way to clean up a small southern city is to “make it so corrupt even the pimps will vote for reform.”
We’re seeing a pimp vote for reform.
